Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions in children: and it often goes unrecognized because children can't always articulate what they feel. This childhood anxiety symptoms checklist helps parents identify signs that may warrant a conversation with a pediatrician or child therapist.
The PCL-5 is the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, a 20-item self-report measure published by the US Department of Veterans Affairs National Center for PTSD. You rate how much each symptom has bothered you in the past month on a 0 to 4 scale. This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis: only a qualified mental health professional can diagnose PTSD.
Self-care is maintenance, not reward. This checklist pulls from WHO, CDC, NIMH, APA, and the academic literature (Neff's self-compassion, Dunbar's networks, Holt-Lunstad's longevity research) rather than wellness-influencer takes. Daily, weekly, monthly items across physical, mental, emotional, social, and practical baselines, plus the warning signs that should send you to a clinician.
Emotion regulation is the core skill set from Marsha Linehan's Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This checklist walks through the standard DBT skills: identifying and naming the emotion, checking the facts, opposite action, problem solving, accumulating positives, building mastery, coping ahead, and PLEASE (treating physical illness, balanced eating, avoiding mood-altering substances, balanced sleep, exercise). Use it as a self-practice worksheet, not a substitute for working with a trained DBT clinician.
